Rain plays piano notes against the skin. <br />Light lets only a little solace in. <br />Is it enough that eloquence has been? <br /> <br />Dissonance is a moment's rusty tears. <br />The air is leaf thick with dusk's atmosphere. <br />Spare sound by defination is severe. <br /> <br />Like gray birds, shadows have life flighted day, <br />Leaving nothing but emptiness to play <br />That song by which we both are blown away. <br /> <br />Previously published, 'The World Poets Quarterly', China<br /><br />Sandra Fowler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/spare-sound/
